geokilla... my ppd is down by 300-500ppd (not down to 300-500ppd).
Looks like the same issue most other folders are having with the 2.10 a2 core.
It's strange to see ppd down even though cpu usage is up.

Actually - from everything I've been reading, it was previous cores that were the problem, and 2.10 is the fix. I'm not saying that Pande Group won't find a way to either optimize the core or adjust the point per WU (like they did with the FahCore_14.exe GPU WUs) - but to be perfectly frank, this is the new normal and I personally don't expect to see anything different any time soon.

Seriously though, my only problem is that it takes longer to complete a WU.
I've cut back to 3 clients for now so I can get the units done in a day.
I lose out on ppd that way though.
Seems like with the cpu usage up the ppd would go up too, but obviously it's not working that way.
